Manas Ranjan Bissoyi · Founder, Ateegnas
The model is rarely the weak link. The data is.
I'm building Ateegnas, an AI-native annotation layer that delivers consistent, high-quality training data at speed.
# thesis
Fix the data and the product follows
Teams spend months tuning models and comparatively little on what goes into them. Mislabelled samples, thin coverage and noisy collection show up later as a product that fails in ways nobody can trace.
My belief is simple: the weakest link in any AI product isn't the model, it's the data feeding it. That's the problem I'm solving.

# experience
A path that wasn't linear
